| Take the aching back out of
your work. It
isn't just the heavy lifters who are suffering
from the day's work; millions of office workers
are the victims of aches and pains caused by the
stress of sitting down --- too long, too
awkwardly --- and more work days are lost from
back pain than from any other cause (except
colds).
Sitting on the Job
will be a lifesaver for you in your job and your
office. Few people realize how stressful sitting
can be, particularly when you add working with
VDTs and computers, incorrectly adjusted chairs,
and poor lighting. The good news is that people
need not suffer while they sit. This book
explores the all-too-common eye strain, back and
neck pain, and shoulder and arm symptoms of
sedentary people. Dr. Donkin provides practical
help in preventing or alleviating these problems,
such as proper ways to sit and exercises to
counteract the stresses of sitting for long
periods. He advises you on how to set up your
work space for optimum comfort and productivity.
And both you and your employer benefit from the
result.
